Partner with CMS

Complete Merchant Solutions is a Full Service Provider (FSP). This means we are one of only a handful of payment processors in the U.S. that manages all aspects of the merchant life-cycle internally. This includes underwriting, merchant boarding, risk management, customer and technical support and product development. This distinction from other processing companies who are merely Independent Sales Organizations (ISO’s) affords us far greater control over the accounts we accept and maintain and greater flexibility over the pricing we’re able to extend to our partners.
CMS offers our partners multiple programs that can be tailored to fit your individual needs and we are firmly committed to offering you every product and service you need to stay relevant in this hyper-competitive industry. As a partner of CMS you are automatically connected to a dedicated team of support agents and consultants that have a vested interest in your success. Take advantage of our extensive industry experience, deep technical knowledge and innovative solutions to take your business to the next level.

Effectively supporting our partners is the most important thing we do each day…

Strategic Partners

Our strategic partner program is at the heart of what we do. We work collaboratively with our partners to help them develop a plan that aligns well with their model and compliments their brand. It’s an easy and effective way for a company to expand its offerings and increase revenues without distracting or interfering with its core business. As a CMS partner you can be as involved or removed as you like.

Additionally, we are very sensitive about protecting our partner’s corporate brand. As such, each partner (as well as its clients) is assigned a dedicated Relationship Manager that is held to an extremely high ‘standard of excellence’ in terms of ensuring quality assurance.

TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS

As a CMS Technology Partner, your company is instantly plugged into industry leading payment solutions that will expand your technology offering, enhance your marketability and increase profitability. A fully integrated merchant services program to compliment your core offering will further help to streamline operations and simplify payment processes for your customers, thus increasing customer loyalty.

Integration

Regardless of the size of your operation or the scalability of your offering, we have the industry experience and technical acumen to ensure a seamless integration. We have partnered with several technology companies within various vertical markets and our team of programmers stands ready to assist with all of your integration needs.

Marketing

Once the program goes live you will have the ability to simply bundle the payment feature as an add-on to your offering and extend it to your customers directly or we will co-develop a marketing plan to promote your endorsement and assign an account manager to reach out to each of your customers individually.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

With over 80 years of combined banking and payment processing experience, our management team has a deep knowledge and understanding of the community banking culture. We can appreciate the unique challenges the current economic landscape presents and we are committed to being your partner, consultant, and advocate.
